Wylie brought home some hives early in the year, and arranged to get queens and workers in early April. Cool! He set everything up, and got the bees into their hives. A queen comes in a little box with a sugar plug. There are a few bees with her, who chew on the sugar plug, releasing her into the hive. Along with the queen in her box, there were a couple dozen workers in the larger box. There was food and water in that box, and once the queen and her helpers got out of the queen box, there were the others waiting to get started. And then the action began!<br />
<br />
<br />
<a href="https://www.beeculture.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/7Thompson.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="405" data-original-width="750" height="172" src="https://www.beeculture.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/7Thompson.jpg" width="320" /></a><br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Of course, we don't get to directly observe most bee action! The queen gets busy laying eggs, and the workers stay busy attending the eggs, prepping the brood cells, and keeping things orderly in the hive. We stand on the outside going "Wonder how they're doing." </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
We have been curious, because we have two hives, and in the heat only one of them has been "bearding" This is when the bees congregate outside the hive, collecting together en masse, and looking like a beard, truly. They do it when the interior of the hive gets too warm, and we, watching from the outside, thought there was a huge population in one hive, while the other colony might be dwindling because they just don't beard. But Wylie checked it out, and found that indeed, the non-bearding hive was flourishing as well. </div>

The time came to harvest some honey. Wylie got his helmet and gloves on, and carried the new boxes and slats out to the hives.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Lifting the top box off, and examining the slats, he found brood in the first four slats that he checked. We don't want to disturb the brood, so he left those slats. </div>

One slat that was 100% honey on one side had about a dozen brood cells on the other side. We didn't notice the brood cells among all the honey, or we would have left that frame in the hive. We could see the baby bees chewing their way through their domes, and I felt so bad! A few escaped before we put their slat in the extractor, but they didn't have other bees around, touching them and making them part of the hive. I did feel bad. </div>

Though we didn't get stung, we did have bees in our faces, and at one point I had a security detail herd me away from the hive. Mostly when bees hover nearby they're just sorta checking you out, but I had three or four bees come at me while I was watching the action at the hives. They were really in my face, bouncing off my head, and generally being much more...assertive...than a normal honey bee. I took the hint and moved away, and they let me be...except one. He wasn't happy until I went inside the house, and he escorted me all the way to the back door. </div>

Helpful Hint: Waving your hands at bees whose hive is being disturbed does NOT make them go away.<br />

The extractor is centrifugal, spinning the honey right out of its cells onto the walls. The honey then drips down the walls of the extractor to the base, where there is a "honey gate". Can you see the filter in the bucket? </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The filter is much needed, because there's wax, propolis, bee legs, and whole entire dead bees in there. They love their honey and some of them hung out around our processing area the whole time we were working. Of course they'd try to light on the honey and OF COURSE, they would get stuck in it. There was no saving them, and again I felt bad. </div>

<span style="text-align: center;">We lifted the filter out and tied it to a broom handle. </span><span style="text-align: center;">Then Wylie twisted, and sort of smooshed the honey along. </span><span style="text-align: center;">The recommendation is to leave it to strain, </span><span style="text-align: center;">but we had nowhere to leave an open bucket of honey so... The filter keeps out the bee parts, etc, but pollen is able to get through so our honey is considered strained, not filtered. Pollen and the enzymes naturally present in honey are left, making it a more complete food. </span><br />

The flavor is unique, again because their resources are varied, unlike the clover honey available in grocery stores. It's a stronger flavor, with depth or tone. I felt like it was a wine tasting. Another difference, at least in the several samples I lifted from the edges with my finger: Grocery store honey does NOT have bits of wax in it! </div>

Now, this is my entry for the Diva Challenge...I'm going to play some more, because it's been a long time since I got this out. But doesn't it just look like a bottom? LOL I didn't mean to do it that way, but with the shading came the curvaceous hiney. And there's even a "Tramp Stamp" hahahaha!<br />

We moved to a new place, from a tiny 600 sq ft one bedroom, into a duplex with shared kitchen (My mom's place. We were able to put a bathroom in the basement, but no way could there be a kitchen) and one of the first things I did after the move, was to make some tiles. This piece was left over from that, and I tangled on it, thinking I'd cut it down to two bookmarks. But then it looked pretty good as-is, so I left it. </div>

I started with the Diva Amanda Day challenge. Rummaged in my recycle bin and grabbed a drink mix box (I do NOT drink this stuff, Wylie does)...broke it down, and the four elements spoke to me: Earth, Water, Fire, and Air.</div>

<br />
The Air panel, that strip of white Tipple is actually the glue from breaking down the box. Arundel is the pattern, which reminds me of a window, to look out onto the airy sky?<br />
<br />
Fire is a sunray string in orange tones. I aimed for swirly or curvy rays. Alternated with black.<br />
<br />
Water is mainly Crest, with some Bublz and Tipple.<br />
<br />
Earth is Dublin, Pokeroot and Pokeleaf, a tangleation of Mooka, I guess. But those globes! I love those globes!<br />

No shoes, thanks!<br />
<br />
Orion's mom and dad took after his YaYa (me) and have left him shoeless his whole life. When we went outside, I thought he'd be happier with shoes on.<br />
<br />
<br />
I was wrong. <br />

Wylie and I went to an AMAZING concert, Postmodern Jukebox. All I can say is WOW! What a show they put on, with vintage covers of all kinds of current songs. I had the time of my life, up close to the stage, dancing, singing along, and enjoying myself thoroughly. </div>

Now THIS is cool. I found a unique book on Amazon, called "Wreck this

"tear this page out and throw it away") *gulp*<br />

But the instruction on this page was "collect the stamps from all your mail"...and I had OODLES of envelopes from all over the world, thanks to the Traveling Tangles Project...and look how COOL that is! Stamps from all over the US, plus Belgium, Singapore, Australia, and Russia! I'm enjoying this book a lot. Today I worked on the page for documenting what I ate...splatters, dribbles, drops of guacamole, rice, beans, queso...hahahaha! fun! And messy, and quite freeing. </div>

Took this picture aiming at the arch, with its edge of alternating squares, and the edge above the leaf/scrollwork with faces, the triangles along the edge but when I looked at the picture, I LOVED the checkerboard of smooth and rough squares, that I didn't even notice because I was focusing on the arch!</div>

This week's Diva Challenge is a duotangle: Shattuck vs. Tripoli. I almost didn't do it, because I've never been able to get into Tripoli. I flub it every time and it turns out not looking all that cool. But regardless, I had a bookmark cut out of some tissue dyed paper.</div>

Because of how pretty the dye bleed through looked, I wanted to make sure the colors weren't hidden, so I kept i light with the patterns. I think this will make a wonderful little hidden treasure in a library book. </div>

This is wider than a normal bookmark, but it's a favorite recent piece. I was going to cut down the center to make two bookmarks of it, but I really like how it looks as a whole, and it is too broad for a bookmark so I'll think of something else for it. I like looking at it.</div>

Let's start right off the bat with the Diva Challenge: Paradox Monotangle. Boy did I have fun with this! I started with the frame and then created squares and triangles inside, and went for it. I thought about some embellishments such as perfs or other ribbon tangles inside some of the "blades" but then thought better of it...Paradox is so cool looking on its own, eh? </div>

When I was done, I noticed that there were lots of 3's...three curves on the Opus, three waves of Crest, three rounded smashed looking flower looking things. </div>

So....this is Aidan, my first grandchild. He will be 15 this year!!! How is that EVEN possible? Me? With a HALF GROWN boy-man grandson? Next thing, they'll be saying I'm old or something. But I had to share it, because it is VERY rare to get a picture of this feller. Not long after this picture was taken, his Aunt Abbie (Orion's mama) did a French braid in his hair, but he shook it out pretty fast. </div>

We wrote our signature, and then did a mirror image of it by folding and tracing, with a window behind it for light. Once we were done, the project continued into making a sort of insect looking thing...SO much fun! Fast forward 46 years... I didn't have a window handy, and I didn't want to fold my tile, and the challenge wasn't about insects...but I think I did a passing job of mirroring my name:</div>

And this was my result. I used Verve again, because it was so much fun last week. Then Bunzo, Flux, Well, and whateverthatisundertheH's. By going "behind" with the patterns, and then the shading...I think it turned out pretty cool. </div>

here is Love Bean again, sitting on daddy's lap. It was a large gathering, and he wanted to sit and see who all was there before venturing out into the crowd. Didn't take long...he wanted to bolt for the stairs in the kitchen, so he ended up being held or guarded by one or another aunt, uncle, cousin, Opa, or YaYa, throughout the night.<br />

<br />
T<a href="http://www.iamthedivaczt.com/2018/03/weekly-challenge-355.html" target="_blank">his week's Diva Challenge</a> was to use the tangle Verve. It's a relaxing pattern, with loads of auras around a center circle.<br />
<br />
This is my entry:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhRoweNBfCGw8U7HmXiMY4BXrm7tpv1v1XpBfhVtbV-n2ajhZfysPQNwGHjWKbp5GziG7kdoGvuuJA7Pu1Jg7pLXFBu0MWup4DuHlDa599lEWUZoVdeMNPgR8W9IJP-XlEnyMV3-f7PIOg/s1600/diva+challenge+march+17.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1280" data-original-width="960" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhRoweNBfCGw8U7HmXiMY4BXrm7tpv1v1XpBfhVtbV-n2ajhZfysPQNwGHjWKbp5GziG7kdoGvuuJA7Pu1Jg7pLXFBu0MWup4DuHlDa599lEWUZoVdeMNPgR8W9IJP-XlEnyMV3-f7PIOg/s640/diva+challenge+march+17.jpg" width="480" /></a></div>
This is the first page of my new small sketchbook. I bought a Canson mix media, a smaller version of my "large" sketchbook. I LOVE THE PAPER!<br />
<br />
Well, I drew a string and filled it up, starting with the Verve. I added my own Concert (looking like sunrays) and Nippa, Tipple, and up in the corner, Earjools. That's a fun one, like a Celtic triskele, around a circle rather than a triangle. Fitting for St Patrick's Day.<br />
<br />
Then came<a href="http://joeyvanoort.blogspot.ca/2018/03/joeys-weekly-tangle-challenge-207.html" target="_blank"> Joey's challenge</a> We are having SO MUCH FUN with these "finish my tile" starts that Joey is giving us. Unfortunately I didn't take a before, but tapping some <a href="http://coffeencreativity.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Michele Wynne creativity</a>, I made a duo challenge out of it:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgN8bzM65WJdL7Mk7cZE_MsB3yG7jJu5ir7Ivaesy-wPw64UdM_sZayOQjfeZg3uDfyvHNFmoMW1LDduqA4HjfiR22oEiSco__n2wiXeIRm2EcGP56OUxpKFFi0umbDTkq9YBenYX1i_HQ/s1600/diva+and+joey+challenge.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1280" data-original-width="960" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgN8bzM65WJdL7Mk7cZE_MsB3yG7jJu5ir7Ivaesy-wPw64UdM_sZayOQjfeZg3uDfyvHNFmoMW1LDduqA4HjfiR22oEiSco__n2wiXeIRm2EcGP56OUxpKFFi0umbDTkq9YBenYX1i_HQ/s640/diva+and+joey+challenge.jpg" width="480" /></a></div>
<br />
The Diva Challenge section is shaded with graphite, and I decided to do the shading on the Joey Challenge section in stippling. There's some verve in there, too!<br />
<br />
<br />
One last minute thing: The IAST challenge for St Patrick's Day, which I did ON the saint's day, and which I tried to make VERY Irish. :) <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgAVL0IE2ZV1E8XGrmE1mTcvI5vyYfpcR-phJf_mLwNMEeOc0-nHHBh1_0AfdmhnYTZ4RjtbnnTlW8qL-XLnSPNaBCukduhonNUkchp3CsfrtRA2xyyQYWJWnxqK801FtJL2VcPhbg807M/s1600/IAST+St+Paddy.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1280" data-original-width="1280" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgAVL0IE2ZV1E8XGrmE1mTcvI5vyYfpcR-phJf_mLwNMEeOc0-nHHBh1_0AfdmhnYTZ4RjtbnnTlW8qL-XLnSPNaBCukduhonNUkchp3CsfrtRA2xyyQYWJWnxqK801FtJL2VcPhbg807M/s640/IAST+St+Paddy.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
The challenge called for Cruze, which I could NOT make happen. I finally got it, and can do it correctly but it just didn't want to be in this tile. So...I did put in Lucky and Lukiline, and added Floose along two edges. And a bunch of pale Celtic Triskeles in the background. It's energetic and leafy and full of life, and I like it. <br />
<br />
That's all I have. Can't believe it, but I think starting this new sketchbook with its elegant, luscious 98 lb paper has made me hesitant. But that's okay...I'll get over it. Going to spend some time tangling in it right now!<br />

This is how the tile turned out. I started out with Joey's start and went from there. Having the colors as a string was perfect. Notice: There's a little bit of Siri in there, which was the Diva's UMT challenge this week. <a href="https://joeyvanoort.blogspot.com/2018/03/joeys-weekly-tangle-challenge-206.html" target="_blank">Joey's challenges have been fun</a>, similar to traveling tangles. <br />
<br />
But Siri was a challenge. I worked on it a lot<br />

This was the week's String Thing, using inapod and roloflex. Roloflex is another pattern I didn't just take to right away. I can never get it looking like a pile of stones. This time, it looks like a tower! but I did enjoy it and the cast shadow N'zeppel was way fun to do.<br />

we had the baby over for a day, while his mom and dad did some deep cleaning at their house. He had a terrific time, ignoring almost all the toys he brought with him to focus on the pot and wooden spoon that YaYa supplied.<br />

This is one of my favorites, that I made shortly after Toodles came out. I also included some Torsdag, Pozer variations, and Telis in the background. Tipple here and there.<br />

So...maybe this will just be a showcase for some recent pieces.<br />

The Diva challenge was to use nested hearts as a string. Mine weren't concentric hearts, but imbedded. And when I got done filling them with patterns, I ended up with something that might be on a dresser top in a rococo boudoir! <br />
<br />

Joey has started another series of "finish my tile" tiles...yay! So we copy what she's made and run with it...I did a duo tangle...Onomato and Hi-bred. I sure enjoyed playing with Hi-bred. <br />

This is the String Thing entry. This is my favorite piece of the week, probably because Golven is one of my favorite patterns and I also love Barney. Anyway, this one I call Jewels on the Beach. <br />

One of the most fun things in my life right now is the Traveling Tangles Project on Facebook, where you start a tile and send it by snail mail to someone who does the ssame for you...a little swap that means getting some happy mail a few times a month. So much fun!<br />
<br />

Orion is nine months old, and enjoys being up steadying himself on the furniture. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here, he was eyeballing the cat or something up on the couch. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm going to go hang out with him and his parents tomorrow. Many more pictures to be taken!</div>

Adele Bruno gave us <a href="http://tickledtotangle.blogspot.com/2018/01/its-string-thing-227.html" target="_blank">a string and some tangles to play with</a> <br />
Jester is pretty new to me, but the fun potential is huge! I'll be playing with it and exploring. This is my entry for IAST, which she posted on her blog this week. <br />

And<a href="http://joeyvanoort.blogspot.ca/2018/01/joeys-weekly-tangle-challenge-200.html" target="_blank"> here is last week's Joey challenge</a>... This was her 200th challenge! That is just too cool to pass up! So I did it and<a href="https://www.pinterest.com/pin/289989663499191000/" target="_blank"> posted on Pinterest</a> about it<br />
<br />
Exeter was the featured tangle, with string 165. I started with a tissue dyed tile, and when Exeter was applied, Strircles called out to me. You can see Dave Hunter's Pinbawl in there, and some funky V thing (where I flubbed Exeter and made it into something new!) I like this one. Strircles uses a lot of ink, but it is STRIKING!<br />

Because Rumpus is fun...it's a fun word. When I was a little girl I had a friend whose home had a Rumpus Room in it! ha! With games and old furniture (I mean, sometimes we just hung out, and sometimes we played) So I used Rumpus and Drogon is in there large, and added my own Concert, then filled in the upper corner with Irradial...another VERY cool pattern that is fun as a filler. There's Tipple here and there, along with an Aquafleur element. Yup. Much fun was had. <br />
<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.iamthedivaczt.com/2018/01/weekly-challenge-349.html" target="_blank">the Diva challenge this week </a>was to use the official tangle Rumpus, and I needed bookmarks, so this is what I did. The original piece is a postcard sized Bristol stock, and I divided it first into thirds. Then I put a string on it, across the dividing lines. Then I filled it. <br />

I am using one of those bookmarks in the book I am currently reading, and I plan on doing another project just like this one, possibly also using Rumpus. I will use these in the library books I have checked out...and then leave them in the books when I return them :) <br />

She is not a snuggle cat, but she more than makes up for it in her entertaining ways: box lover, will rub her face on most anything, and mighty q-tip battler. She NEVER gets up on the back of the couch that way, but now I have photographic evidence that she DOES.<br />

It has been AGES since I got out my large notebook with the paper that I love so much. Dewd was a good start, but wow did I ever run with it. It felt like this one might get too busy, but I think there's enough open space to make it just interesting.<br />
<br />
One of the things I thought of as I was thinking what pattern to choose...well, patterns. Human beings love them, whether in art or looking for faces in clouds. And repetition. When you're listening to music, whether a favorite, or something new, isn't it a treat when a riff gets repeated, or a theme from the first movement shows up in the third movement? Or think about collections that people gather. I have my chicken collection...and no two of them are the same...but there are many of them and all of them are chickens. That's what I thought about when I finished here...it's a delight to see the same pattern appear in different places, or one motif from a complicated pattern showing up over in the corner, or changing it out a little bit, exploring the different ways to fill up spaces using the basics of the pattern...variations on a theme? Unity of shape filled with diversity of detail.<br />
<br />
Well, creating this was fun. It took a couple of evenings, and I finished a challenge before Saturday!<br />
<br />
Other projects:<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
On the Traveling Tangles Project, I finally finished up something one of my swap partners treated me with way back when...Stephanie Drewa sent me nine ATC's that had been started...well I did a lot of them right away, then between the new job with new hours and other life stuff just crowding out my free time, a creativity slump hit, and I forgot about them. Well, I found them this week and finished them up.</div>

Artoo has always reminded me of the Japanese Lantern:<br />

It is pleasing EVERY time, to make an aura around a section then put something in behind...add shading and viola! One of my very favorite techniques.<br />
<br />
Joey also has a challenge this week...a Cube string, looking 3-D and use B-tween .... well, here you have it:<br />

<br />
This is actually the FRONT of the tile that I did the Diva challenge on. I've been doing that lately. Turning a tile over and tangling on the back. Well this one came from a batch I made with the tissue transfer coloring method.<br />
<br />
I was hoping the side and top would look more 3-D but the way they look over lapping on the edges is nice. Makes up for it a bit.<br />
<br />
And that's it.<br />
<br />
Except one more pic...Orion had a baby blessing, and I brought a gift for him...and his mom put the ribbon on his head...<br />

this is the last tile, pre-tangling...LOTS of white across there.<br />
One thing I've been doing with all the white spaces in the tiles, has been to pack lots of tiny Tipple in there...and this is A LOT of white space...so I did the tiny Tipple but it got to be too much pretty fast..<br />
<br />
So I poke rooted in there, and the rest flowed very easily. <br />

This is what I ended up with...now, I like all of it, and there are places where the string connects things together, </div>
<div style="text-align: right;">
But the bottom half of the montage seems more disconnected.</div>
<div style="text-align: right;">
I may play around with it some, to get things more unified. </div>
<div style="text-align: right;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: right;">
But this has been SUCH a fun challenge. Most enjoyable!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
From our Diva, we received a monotangle challenge. A monotangle is a great opportunity to explore one pattern, use it in a variety of ways, or bring about that unity that comes from using just one pattern in a piece.</div>

The fun part of striping is making it look three dimensional by curving the stripes. This one would be trippy if the stripes were colored!<br />
<br />
Oh! I also wanted to share this fun little tidbit...my almost last swap on swap bot was a zentangle swap, where we were to decorate a postcard with our tangles, and put it in an envelope with a tea bag...individually sealed, of course...<br />
<br />
Well look what came in the mail from Singapore:<br />

He can roll over all by himself tummy to back. Once on his back, he can scoot around by kicking his legs...that IS pretty comical. He's eating solids once a day. His favorite is mashed yams. He's a happy boy. </div>

This week has been an N'zeppel week in the challenges. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Which I love, because N'zeppel is my favorite tangle, especially when it comes time for shading. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Also this week, for me anyway, it has been duotangle time. </div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiwtUm5KuGQZQru9cPdxqO5KaDPlnWDyA89qC8gM7YDOXWVARp7EfdD27GYav3uP9UrEbJOJqfQoiKxez8p_hM4JbYcAmHLAFMLsJ7mWk5Ohj7ewngEuMTsgWZUqiBl5gTRAdBLywyZ_Wo/s1600/diva.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1280" data-original-width="960" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiwtUm5KuGQZQru9cPdxqO5KaDPlnWDyA89qC8gM7YDOXWVARp7EfdD27GYav3uP9UrEbJOJqfQoiKxez8p_hM4JbYcAmHLAFMLsJ7mWk5Ohj7ewngEuMTsgWZUqiBl5gTRAdBLywyZ_Wo/s400/diva.jpg" width="300" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It all started with the Diva challenge last week, using cozy patterns, which I did. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjA0nvWOzgsdbzUtozzIWlvQhZA1WBbAG11WHfhxQjEOAaGIEX6kamJWMzafK35LzsJhj_uNAfEoT0EDsjJgV_L3u2hHOAYrEJAV6FkCV-bnlzFQkMubmHc76bNqnUh0IL1wphSk5c8W8E/s1600/flowers+on+a+bed+of+flowers.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1280" data-original-width="960" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjA0nvWOzgsdbzUtozzIWlvQhZA1WBbAG11WHfhxQjEOAaGIEX6kamJWMzafK35LzsJhj_uNAfEoT0EDsjJgV_L3u2hHOAYrEJAV6FkCV-bnlzFQkMubmHc76bNqnUh0IL1wphSk5c8W8E/s400/flowers+on+a+bed+of+flowers.jpg" width="300" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Then I got playing with Helen Williams' <a href="https://alittlelime.blogspot.com/2017/06/a-z-journal-c-for-crumpled-roses.html" target="_blank">Crumpled Rose</a> pattern and thought</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
"By George, wouldn't PixieOze go well here?"</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and made this a duotangle, too.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
So, when the Diva Challenge came along, I just kept up with that overarching theme:</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi3rffhkDPTf8HNeLj84N_U1vFIKLLdiv6TtEvxh58psn0PfxdL2MH9PMgaSVZ-pUkv6QrwWRa8ZIzt8iInZBSv5i36MVdUSdhsVY3BnWVj0YWlvueMXSdK4E0pHsdg2fL2ATJ7JvJVVu8/s1600/diva+choice.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1280" data-original-width="960" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi3rffhkDPTf8HNeLj84N_U1vFIKLLdiv6TtEvxh58psn0PfxdL2MH9PMgaSVZ-pUkv6QrwWRa8ZIzt8iInZBSv5i36MVdUSdhsVY3BnWVj0YWlvueMXSdK4E0pHsdg2fL2ATJ7JvJVVu8/s400/diva+choice.jpg" width="300" /></a></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Fassett and Tipple. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It has shading! It has contrast!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This one was so much fun. Isn't Fassett neat the way it goes deep?</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
N'zeppel was her chosen tangle this week and the string I had in there was squarish with two loops.</div>

N'zeppel and Coil worked well there.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<br />
well it's been a week, and that's no lie. I'll start at the beginning.<br />
<br />
A few weeks ago my son, who has bipolar disorder, flipped out and got physically abusive with his wife. He shifted from a sofa here to a floor there, various places until finally one of his cousins drove him to the ER and when they saw him, they admitted him, flat out. After 72 hours of stabilization and observation, he was released and has nowhere to go. His wife won't have him back, the cousins are all bad news and staying with them will be extremely unhealthy, and he is refusing to take a bed at a shelter. :( My homeless son. I am so sad for him. <br />
<br />
That's the short version. Needless to say, this has been a huge worry for me this month. But so many times I've been able to get to a place of quiet and ease with my tangling...<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.iamthedivaczt.com/2017/09/weekly-challenge-333-guest-post.html" target="_blank">The Guest blogger for the Diva this week</a> gave us the assignment to choose cozy tangles. Well, I had already pretty much filled up a page of my sketchbook one evening, keeping cozy and de-stressing, so this is what I chose for that challenge:<br />
<br />

I don't know what the frond like one is called, maybe Fronds? and of course the delightful Muscari. I call this one "Relaxation on Paper" because it gave me focus and kept me in the NOW for quite some time.<br />
<br />
Thank goodness for this little hobby when things in life are dark.<br />
<br />
And gratitude also for the wonderful things in life...like the baby getting back from Denver:<br />

This is how I laid it out and put a string on it...but when I got to the sixth ATC, I found that the string doesn't connect with the bottom tile at all!...<br />
<br />
so I got looking at the color pattern and thought...hmmm<br />

Is this how it should go? because there's some warmer tones at the top of tiles 1-3...and there are some connections with the string, too!<br />

Ginili was the featured tangle, which is one of my favorites. It goes really well with <a href="http://www.boomeresque.com/aloha-a-new-hawaii-inspired-boomeresque-tangle/" target="_blank">Suzanne Fluhr's Aloha</a>...which I didn't use here hahahaha but it is always worth a mention. </div>

So, you can see how the bottom of the tile has no string, which should be there to attach it to tile #9 in a few weeks. </div>

Years ago, in the era of dial up, I was a member of a religious discussion group Renewing Your Mind. It was the first discussion forum I ever joined. That forum went away in 2001, to all of our deep sadness, but we
continued in a different venue, still discussing every kind of
thing...such as the vastly important thread about which is better,
bagpipes or fiddles. Or what is the difference between red shift and
blue shift (THE Tim Bergland has a blue shift...just so you know) (or
was it periwinkle)<br />
<br />
There I met (online) many people whom I have counted as friends for decades...and this year I met TWO OF THEM!<br />

Anne was in town a week ago for a DoTerra conference, and Byron came to town this past week for something with his job. So, last week Anne and I went to the Blue Iguana, and yesterday Byron and I ate at the Red Iguana. Yum! and what a blessing to meet IRL these wonderful people who have been a very real part of my life for so many years.<br />
<br />
I've met two others, a few years ago. Eleanor who came to Utah as part of a geological tour of the West, and Valerie who crashed at my place on her way across country to move to Moscow, Idaho from Maryland.<br />
<br />
One of the great assets of the internet for us introverted types is that we get to connect with people without the draining effects of ACTUAL HUMAN CONTACT! But seriously, these people are FRIENDS that I treasure, and I hope to meet many more of them. Maybe some day I'll do some sofa surfing back east and visit ALL THE PEEPS!<br />

This will be a quick one. I couldn't go back to sleep so I got up and decided to do a blog post.<br />
<br />
First....here is a link to <a href="http://heidisue60.blogspot.com/2017/08/bosch.html" target="_blank">my newest pattern BOSCH </a><br />
<br />

My challenges:<br />
<br />
The Diva assigned square strings this week.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZCNMlr4LkyxVn5MeEyHeqAlsj_tOWROgTHrXT9lXt3QQgyLQ5mGBqv_VTZWDaxzyZAnxXUrx5BoAwYvqQ0j6SGcm44kjkYtqSusvq2xM4awweX_h5ssfA6FUCJlO3kW_HCSbDT1sk-Gw/s1600/diva+square+string+start.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1280" data-original-width="1280" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZCNMlr4LkyxVn5MeEyHeqAlsj_tOWROgTHrXT9lXt3QQgyLQ5mGBqv_VTZWDaxzyZAnxXUrx5BoAwYvqQ0j6SGcm44kjkYtqSusvq2xM4awweX_h5ssfA6FUCJlO3kW_HCSbDT1sk-Gw/s200/diva+square+string+start.jpg" width="200" /></a></div>
My string...gee wiz, my wobbly border!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhDcvrZplN4zEMyto5x38MJBcbqi9ea-6BRowSNuumDdhsY0HsWZNqg_1RvoTI3a16N4D_zfju4G9oQGQLiI-cIqx3gn1dye5MkQUNwR3VPW0CCdSB4rf-JO8C37thRLORLeZG9Q_kmJWU/s1600/diva+square+string.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1280" data-original-width="1280" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhDcvrZplN4zEMyto5x38MJBcbqi9ea-6BRowSNuumDdhsY0HsWZNqg_1RvoTI3a16N4D_zfju4G9oQGQLiI-cIqx3gn1dye5MkQUNwR3VPW0CCdSB4rf-JO8C37thRLORLeZG9Q_kmJWU/s320/diva+square+string.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
I decided, since the string was squares, that I would use patterns featuring circles...Onomato with a few Scruffles, Nippa, Hopscotch, Go4th, Widgets...and then saw Equare, but it needed Wud eh?<br />
<br />
I did do Joey's challenge last week, but haven't got it done for this week yet.<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
I'll have a pic with everything together, next time.<br />
<br />
Then, because I was still in bosch mode, I decided to do the String thing challenge (but I didn't enter it)<br />
<br />
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

If you didn't already know this, Hieronymous Bosch had a very strange, oddball style. Extremely detailed, funky, quirky, strange, odd.<br />

It works better to start with the circles before adding the stems, and weighting the lines is important. I think it would make a really good filler. <br />

<br />
Last week's Diva Challenge was to make a four tile mandala. I started with four tiles, cut out of multi-media paper:<br />

I just put them together and plopped a cup on the four corners and voila! Off center! So I ran with it.<br />
<br />
Here is the finished project:<br />

there's b'tweed here, and Meer. Schnek along the edge of Meer, and the swirly weighted curls...I'm sure somewhere it is an official pattern, but I call it Smoke. In the center, who knows...but I added a little bit of striping and some perls.<br />

This one, I used beadlines in the center, then my Torsdag, and my friend Dave's Pinbawl. The Joki with some Fricle on the edge. I like how airy this section is.<br />
<br />
<br />
That was a fun challenge. I just didn't get to my computer for any length of time last week. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Now, Joey has us doing a montage, using nine tiles, and stringing over all nine, then each week she gives us a pattern we must use. I took a page from Michele Wynn's book, and decided to use ATC's.<br />
<br />
But first! A baby picture😀<br />

This week's Diva Challenge is from guest tangler Jane Reiter, who found a pattern in nature. Petoskey Stones, to be exact. Neat!<br />
I had so much fun with this. A wonky hex grid, and various fillers and patterns inside...FUN!<br />

This past weekend I got to go be with some of my favorite people in the world. We went to the same church 25 years ago, in a tiny town called Lava Hot Springs. My darling friend Nancy and her husband bought land that had some decrepit old cabins on it. And she fixed everything up so nice, and ran it as a place for people to stay, who came to visit Lava. Bristol Park.<br />
<br />
Many things happened in that family's life in the late 90's, and my friend and her kids moved away. But they kept the property, and after some years had passed, and those kids were grown, two of them moved back and re-opened Bristol Park. Once a year, mom comes to visit, and I get me up there and stay a while. We did that this weekend and I am still recuperating. :)<br />

Wylie did it all, including the "Rush Line" (I bowed out, thanks to my feet and knee being in bad pain) but I did get video of the idiot hanging upside down while zipping!<br />

When I got home, I started a swapbot project, which is a postcard ZIA. And on Monday there was still room for the Diva Challenge, which was to use D-1 grid seed in our work. <br />

I am sending this to a swap partner today, and thought...why not? so this is what I did with it. D-1 is a fun motif to play with. I want to explore it some more, but this time the star shape that emerges just charmed me. This was probably the most fun and relaxation with zentangle I've enjoyed in a while.<br />
<br />
Something I have decided. Swap bot feels too much like deadlines. I've enjoyed receiving a broad sample of ATC's in many different genres and have a fun little collection of a variety of tiny art. But I'm done. Having to get things done by a certain date is not enjoyable. Feels rushed...I have two more to finish up this week, then I am going to settle back into zentangle because I like it, and I will participate in the challenges, and probably be more active on the Traveling Tangles Project and other FB zentangle pages.<br />
<br />
N'zeppel is my best comfort pattern. When the Diva's guest Tangler a few weeks ago issued a monotangle challenge for N'zeppel, i was tickled, and did these, though I did not enter them.<br />

Thissun here loves to take 30 to 45 minute naps. Unless you put him down. Then the nap lasts exactly as long as you hold him. But isn't that perfect! I will get to see him again when I babysit while mom and dad go out for some alone together time. CAN'TWAIT! <br />

<br />
New job with daily trainings in COMPLETELY new software systems, almost a new system per day, and today, Friday, my day ended with my brain pretty much twitching.<br />
<br />
So it felt really good to go through pictures to put in this blog post. Like this one:<br />

I *did* do quite a bit of tangling and enjoyed it so much. It is so needed now, more than ever before with this much higher energy, much more responsibility, job.<br />
<br />
So, <a href="http://www.iamthedivaczt.com/2017/08/weekly-challenge-328-guest-blogger.html" target="_blank">the Diva Challenge this week</a>, care of guest blogger Suzanne Fluhr, was to use one of my absolute favorite tangles, Aloha, in a piece.<br />
<br />
So, I played:<br />
<br />

This is such a flowing, curvy, tropical tangle, as it should be, since it is based on a screen that Travel buff Suzanne saw in Hawaii.<br />
<br />
I did some free form, and some inside squares, and played with perls and tipples and dots. Some thick lines, some thin, some smooth, some rough<br />
<br />
FUN!<br />

Well, in one swap bot exchange, an Australian tangler named Jane, sent me some papers that she had colored using Margaret Bremner's bio technique.<br />
<br />

<br />
(btw, I also have a 14 year old. Grandchild. Yes. Young lil me, with a teenaged grandson. But I don't have his picture, due to his leaving the room when cameras get pointed. Aidan, whose name backwards is...NADIA, his little sister)<br />

Tangling in the evening has been a really good down time thing to do. Get my mind off the LITERALLY brain frying training at work.<br />
<br />
Good Stuff. <br />

I started with another comfort tangle, Mooka, and spent the evening filling a page.<br />
<br />
Mooka, hollibaugh, rain, N'zeppel, tripoli, Printemps, fescu, cypresses, spirally stuff.<br />

I wanted to maintain the exquisite coloring on this paper, so I kept the design light. Aloha, with some embellishments in the leaves, along with tipple and scruffle, some orbsladee and curvy stuff along the bottom, and a few drifts of that delicate pattern <a href="https://i2.wp.com/pattern-collections.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/Tring-by-Shazia.png" target="_blank">Tring.</a><br />
<br />
Some Msst here and there. Some falling leaves. Curves galore...I LOVE the curvy Aloha!<br />
<br />
and here's some more bebeh:<br />

gee whiz, what a cutie!<br />
<br />
He just turned three months old and more fun every day. I got to go over last Sunday and hold him pretty much all afternoon while his mom did housework and took a shower. And hung out, talking our faces off. What a pleasant day. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Tricky little feller...fall asleep while being held and then wake up alert, calm, and cheerful the moment you put him down. <br />
<br />
<br />
